Last month, I transferred the first stock from my traditional IRA, 3M Company (NYSE:MMM), to DivGro. Today I'm transferring the second stock, JNJ.
I already own 30 shares of JNJ. With this transfer, I'm adding another 24 shares for a total of 54 shares. Here is a chart showing my buy prices:

So glad you mentioned finbox.io , that site is pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I'll be using finbox.io for many of my stock analyses in the future. Thanks for visiting and take care, Captain Dividend!
DeleteNever heard of finbox.io. I will check it out.
DeleteThanks for the quick summary. JNJ is quite tempting.
finbox.io is fairly new. It seems to be a great resource for stock analysis and valuations.
DeleteI wouldn't make any significant purchases of JNJ right now although I might be adding a few shares in my Roth IRA. I've got a little bit of capital from a sale I did earlier this year and need to get that money invested again. On a risk adjusted basis JNJ is still looking pretty good here. Some of your returns are eaten up by the valuation but as a buy it, check reinvest and look back in 20 years JNJ is almost always a good option. The upcoming dividend increase will just be icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteHi PIP -- I probably won't buy more JNJ right now either. As you point out, though, JNJ's risk/reward stats are quite favorable. Looking at F.A.S.T.graphs, JNJ perpetually seems to be trading a few points above fair value. Its probably because the company has a AAA credit rating and a solid dividend growth stock to boot. Take care and best of luck with your investments!
DeleteJNJ was one of my favorite companies even before I started investing. Incredible how many of their products are out there. Glad to finally own some!
